The mark of a pervert once again; a goatee & mustache! There’s got to be something to this!!! The internet is abundant of websites featuring some of the world’s most beautiful girls in XXX display. These girls may be BARELY legal, but at least they are legal. Perhaps these “barely legal” girls are a bit too old for this guy. Anybody who gets turned on by pictures of children will ultimately make a mistake like this guy did, and end up in prison as he is likely headed for.
26 years old and has already ruined his life. A murderer is often forgiven. A child predator is NEVER forgiven.
I cannot understand, Peter, what harm this man did by downloading information that is available to his computer. Granted, a picture portraying child porn is not information that I would like to see available on the computer. If he had downloaded pictures or videos of people being killed, would he be committing a crime? I don’t think so. If your agrument is that child pornography is different, I ask how so? It is certainly highly illegal to kill someone but to have a picture or a video of it is, as far as I know, not a crime.
I think the real issue here Mr. Cottontail is that this it is the politics that make this man a criminal here. All of us who have any kind of morals are obviously against child porn. We want to protect children, certainly. mr. Ringewald did not take pictures of children. He did not ask them to perform strange acts while he recorded them on a video. Mr. Ringewald apparently saw these things recorded by someone else.
Mike C, you say that a murderer is often forgiven and that a child predator is not. How is Mr. Ringewald a child predator? Who forgives the murderer and not the predator, you?
